Building A Solid Foundation for Every Child

Welcome to La Paloma Academy’s Lakeside Campus. We are a tuition-FREE, not-for-profit charter school, providing an exceptional educational environment that focuses on incredible academics, community involvement, and family values.

Founded in 2002, La Paloma Academy has experienced unprecedented growth in just a few short years, opening a second campus in Tucson in 2006 and a third in 2012. La Paloma Academy is now Tucson’s fastest-growing charter school and home to more than 1,800 students across the three campuses, the largest charter school in Southern Arizona.

La Paloma Academy strives to develop a lifelong love of learning, community service, and integrity in our students.
